It’s Crafturday: 10
I recently spent a week in California hanging out with my dad while he recovered from an infection. It was brisk and sometimes snowy outside and I had few responsibilities other than to walk his dog and make meals. So, I got A LOT of crocheting done!
When I was at my dad’s last year, I decided that I loved this old afghan his grandmother had made and that I would make an homage to it. Here is the original with my version on top. I inadvertently made my stripes horizontal instead of vertical, but I don’t think it will adversely affect the character of the blanket. Since this photo I’ve even added a few more inches!

Great colors and I love that you kept the original in mind while making yours…won’t that the fun to hand down to one of the kids many years from now?

This is the first afghan pattern I learned how to crochet when I was 12!
